#still bummed I never found anything that explored the difference between timsteph and koncassie in those scenarios

I wouldn’t be surprised if she got a solo series, or a different team up, they seem to be setting up a plot line with her father for that. I’d be down with it honestly, I just want to be given a reason to care about this character.

I also just don’t think she’d fit in well with the current YJ team. The vibe so far has been incredibly amicable, between new and old friends alike but the core 4 especially won’t shut up about how much they like each other. I can’t see Stephanie being added to that partially because of her less team player like attitude, and partially because I always got the feeling Kon and Cassie aren’t particularly fond of her.

I mean, in Kon’s case I’m basing that mostly on his reaction to her as robin but that could also be seen as him just being protective over Tim. There’s even less to go by with Cassie, but she’s clearly uncomfortable around Steph in the few panels they share. I’ve seen Timsteph shippers interpret that as just Cassie being salty that the the girlfriend of the guy she likes isn’t dead, though I personally always read that in a “wow your death really hurt my best friend, and you were faking it the whole time, meanwhile my boyfriend is still actually dead” but that’s just me. All in all I can’t see them being buddy buddy with her.

Plus from a storytelling perspective the core 4 and Stephanie represent two different lives for Tim, throwing them all together would get rid of a lot of interesting conflict.

wavebiders replied to your post “yes ik people are saying “just enjoy the story” and tim is not the…”

I do still think it’s unreasonable, though to expect her not to show up at all. Not unreasonable to want it, but it just seems like setting yourself up to be let down, and ive done that to myself enough times to know it sucks. And she’s a part of Tim’s story it just makes sensebshe would show up at some point if only to close that chapter. There’s no shame in skipping those issues either, I highly doubt she’ll be a main character

My feelings exactly.

To be fair, it is entirely possible that events might happen down the line that lead to her officially joining the team the way Naomi is but…IDK, I don’t see it happening. Partially because of the relationship trouble flags I mentioned before, but also because she’s been so deliberately separated from everything going on so far that it feels like they have other plans for her.
